October Updates
Friday, October 10th, 2008Check out our NEW Aggregate Search
In case you haven’t noticed, the last few months for the BlogCatalog team has been all about making improvements to the site. Sitting at the top of that list has been our search functionality. Well, starting today we are launching an all new aggregate search that helps users looking for your content find what they are looking not just faster, but easier too!
The new search engine delivers search results from the BlogCatalog blog directory, member blog posts, the BC discussions, and more than 20 social networks, giving you up to the minute content from across BlogCatalog. You can also narrow the search field to focus in on each search category. This means a better variety of results when you do a search, and that your blog content is now even easier to find!
Check out some of this week’s most popular topics:
Blackberry
Presidential Debate
Twitter
Halle Berry
Social Media
Or start your own search at: http://www.blogcatalog.com/search.

What Happens in Vegas, Gets Blogged in Vegas
Last year, the BC team was invited out to BlogWorld in Las Vegas. We had so much fun hanging out and meeting some of our favorite members that we headed out again this year and it was a blast!
Someone asked what our goal was for being there but the truth is we just went to hang out and meet the people behind the avatars. We also got a chance to hear from dozens of social media pros like Carolyn Abram from Facebook; novelist Austin Bay; popular blogger Chris Brogan; new media entrepreneur Brian Clark; and problogger Darren Rowse.
If you haven’t made it out to BlogWorld yet you really should next year. There are a lot of really great bloggers and speakers that you normally wouldn’t get a chance to meet. Oh, and don’t forget to stop by the BlogCatalog booth and say hello!
Did You know?
Blogger & Podcaster Magazine now features a column written by our very own CEO, Tony Berkman. We get to listen to him talk about social media everyday here in the office so if you like what you read let us know and we will send him to your office so we can get some work done!
